He's got 20 pounds on me

The fight where Micky Ward's is up against the colored guy with 20 pounds on him, and gets clobbered. Was that fight based on a real Ward fight? Which one?

It was a real fight, against Mike Mungin. But in the film it seems like Ward gets beaten down with ease, when in actual fact he put up a decent fight

The weight difference wasn't anywhere near 20lbs either.

8 1/2 lbs at weigh ins. Could've been much more the day of the fight.
